Senatorial Papers 1977-1994 [series]

The Senatorial Papers series documents Riegle's three terms in the U.S. Senate. There is a general Legislative subseries and subseries for each of the committees Riegle served on. The Legislative and Committee subseries are arranged chronologically by congress and then alphabetically by topic. Most of the topics concern bills in the particular committees or hearings held by the committees or subcommittees. Other subseries include Press Releases, Topical Files and District Office Files, and microfilmed copies of Constituent Correspondence

Legislative 1977-1994 [subseries]

The Legislative subseries, which is arranged chronologically by two-year congress and then alphabetically by subject. The subjects may be the names of bills or acts, of topics, or people. Every type of legislation appears in this series. Among the most significant are the Chrysler Corporation loan guarantee (1977-1978); the Comprehensive Energy Conservation Service Act (1977-1978); various issues relating to Social Security and the environment; and especially issues of concern to the automobile industry and to its employees, such as the Clean Air Act, Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ) standards, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In the last two congresses, Riegle and his staff worked on many health-related issues. Finally, this series contains many files on issues related to Michigan, such as military base closures and environmental issues. The number of issues is too lengthy to list here. The interested researcher should look in this series first because of its comprehensiveness.
